The visitors were a girl in a pink skirt, a Confucian scholar in a blue shirt, and a burly monk with six ring scars on his head.
The three of them obviously did not expect to meet a living person like Ye Chen in this ruined temple in the wilderness.
They stared at Ye Chen for a long time, and their vigilant eyes gradually softened.
"Brother, it's pouring heavily outside the temple. Do you mind if I lend you a bonfire to keep the cold away?" The three of them were basically soaked to the skin because it had already started raining heavily outside when they came.
"Everyone, please do as you please!" Ye Chen said calmly when he saw the questioning looks from the three scholars in green shirts.
Hearing this, the three people couldn't wait and gathered around the fire.
The burly monk obviously didn't worry too much. He took off his wet robe and started roasting it by the fire.
It was the Confucian scholar in green shirt, because the girl in pink skirt sitting next to her acted more gracefully. She just pulled up a corner of her shirt and baked it repeatedly by the fire.
The most embarrassing thing is the girl in the pink skirt. A girl is sitting among three grown men. Most of her clothes are wet. She can't take them off or not.
"Miss Rong, I see there is a stone platform behind the statue over there, why not go and change your wet clothes first!"
"That's fine!" said the girl in pink skirt and touched the jade ring on her hand. Obviously, it was a storage magic weapon.
However, at this moment, the girl in pink skirt stood up and walked towards the stone platform. Suddenly she trembled and took a few steps back: "Coffin...Coffin!!!"
Seeing the frightened look on the girl in pink skirt, the scholar in blue and the burly monk instinctively glanced at the black coffin under the stone platform.
Then, the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Don't be afraid, Miss Rong. With me and Master Liaofan here, no monsters or monsters will dare to cause trouble!"
After hearing the words of the Confucian scholar in green shirt, the girl in pink skirt took a deep breath, and as if mustering up great courage, she walked towards the stone platform behind the statue.
"This brother, my name is Mo Xuanyu, and I am a member of the Mo family of Huang Maple Valley! This master Liaofan is from Shili Temple. We and the girl Rong just now are preparing to go to Qingzhou to participate in the kamikaze competition.
College assessment, I wonder what I call my brother?"
"Chen Ye!" Ye Chen said calmly.
"It turns out to be Brother Chen. When I came in just now, I saw a horse chasing the wind at the door. Could it be that Brother Chen also went to Qingzhou to take the assessment?"
"That's right!" Ye Chen said as he took out the dry food and started heating it by the fire.
"That's such a coincidence. It's kind of fate that we can meet in this ruined temple. How about we go together tomorrow?" Seeing that Ye Chen didn't say anything, Mo Xuanyu smiled awkwardly.
Just at this time, the girl in the pink skirt changed into clean clothes and returned to the bonfire again.
"After traveling for so long, everyone must be hungry. Let's share some of the pastries I bought at the market!" The girl in the pink skirt said as she gave the pastries she had to Mo Xuanyu, and
Great monk.
"Brother, your dry food is too hard, you should try the pastries I brought!" Facing the pastries handed over by Miss Rong, Ye Chen sat motionless.
Miss Rong stood there awkwardly, and Mo Xuanyu was about to step forward to smooth things over. Unexpectedly, the hot-tempered monk on the side had already stood up:
"Let me tell you, brother, Miss Rong is just worried that your dry food will not be easy to eat, so she gave you the cakes. Do you want it or not? Let's talk to each other. What's going on with people hanging aside like this?"
"Forget it, forget it, Master Liaofan! Maybe this Brother Chen is just withdrawn and did not deliberately neglect Miss Rong!" Mo Xuanyu said while winking to signal the monk to calm down.
It's a pity that the great monk just can't get enough oil and salt.
"Solitary? The most basic courtesy is always the best! We just borrowed his bonfire, and we don't owe him money. Do you think he should give us the cold shoulder over and over again?"
After saying that, the great monk seemed to be angry, put on the half-dry monk's robe next to the fire, turned around and sat in the corner opposite the fire.
As for Mo Xuanyu and Miss Rong, they smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, brother, Master Liaofan has a straightforward temper. Brother, please don't argue with him."
After saying that, Mo Xuanyu came to the corner alone and persuaded the great monk.
In the end, after trying to persuade him for a long time, it was useless. Mo Xuanyu could only return to the fire alone, and he and Miss Rong ate pastries with helpless expressions on their faces.
After eating the pastries, the girl in the pink skirt took off the water bottle from her waist and distributed it to everyone.
Mo Xuanyu took a sip of water. Perhaps he felt that the atmosphere was a little deserted, so he spoke first: "Master Fan, have you heard from Miss Rong that the three assessments of Shenfeng Academy this year are very different from the past!"
"The little lady has heard a little bit about what Brother Mo said, but I'm not too sure about the specific situation!"
The topic between Mo Xuanyu and Miss Rong instantly aroused the great monk's interest. He moved a little closer to the fire: "I heard from the abbot about this matter. It seems that it was because of the previous few days."
Today, some ancient tomb ruins were discovered in Qingzhou.
This ancient ruins were shrouded in an ancient formation. Dozens of powerful Principle Realm experts from the Tianyuan royal family gathered together to barely open a corner of the formation.
It's a pity that if you want to enter it, you must suppress your cultivation to the Shengang realm.
In addition, this time the ancient ruins have attracted the attention of many powerful forces, so the Tianyuan royal family decided to set this year’s Kamikaze Academy’s assessment location at this ancient ruins.”
Hearing this, Ye Chen, who had been silent all this time, had a strange look in his eyes.
Qingfeng City is located in a remote area with little information, so he had not previously known what the three people had just said.
However, Ye Chen was not unfamiliar with the words "ancient ruins".
Rumor has it that martial arts flourished in ancient times!!!
Many of the unparalleled magical arts that are now powerful in the Tiancang world were handed down from ancient times.
Therefore, every time an ancient ruins appears in the Cangcang world, it will always attract countless people to hunt for treasures.
However... with the Tianyuan royal family's position in Qingzhou, they are fully capable of taking this ancient ruins as their own.
Why go to all the trouble to set the Kamikaze Academy’s assessment location among ancient ruins?
Obviously, the strength of these big forces who covet ancient ruins is not simple!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to force the Tianyuan royal family to make such concessions.
"It seems that it won't be that easy to pass the Kamikaze Academy exam safely."
Hearing what Mo Xuanyu and the great monk Liao Fan said, Miss Rong's face turned pale: "We gathered dozens of Principle Source Realm powerhouses to barely open a corner of the formation. Then... how can we, Shen Gang Realm warriors, enter it?"
Isn’t it a bad thing?”
She is the one with the lowest cultivation level among the people present, and she has just entered the early stage of Shen Gang.
In contrast, Mo Xuanyu's reaction was completely opposite, with a hint of excitement in his eyes: "You can't say that! Martial arts practice is about the interdependence of misfortune and blessing. There are many crises in this ancient ruins, but it can arrange such a huge
Guard the array, there must be a lot of treasures inside."
In addition to talent, perseverance, and opportunity, martial arts training is also very important!
Now, ancient ruins have appeared!
Isn't it a great opportunity for them?
In fact, even the great monk's eyes became faintly fiery: "Amitabha, as a monk, I should have achieved nothing! But as a warrior monk, I also have the ambition to reach the pinnacle of martial arts.
If there are really valuable treasures in this ancient ruins, even a poor monk would have to go in and have a look."
They originally came here to take the Kamikaze Academy exam, but now they encounter such a huge opportunity, who can resist it?
…………
In this way, the three of them discussed this topic until late at night.
Gradually, everyone felt that their eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, so they sat cross-legged or lay on their sides and began to rest in the ruined temple.
Ye Chen sat cross-legged next to the campfire, digesting the information the three of them had just talked about while tempering the sword in his body.
"Bang bang bang~" But at this moment, the black coffin under the stone platform of the statue suddenly began to shake violently.
"What's going on?" The sound of the coffin shaking suddenly woke up Mo Xuanyu and the others who had just fallen asleep.
"Then... that coffin seems to be moving!" Miss Rong pointed at the coffin, her pretty face already pale.
"What kind of monster are you! How dare you pretend to be a ghost here?" The great monk shouted loudly and slapped the coffin with his palm.
A huge golden palm print whizzed past and slapped heavily on the dark coffin.
"Boom!!!" In an instant, the entire coffin exploded.
A black shadow flew out of the coffin without any warning and headed straight for everyone.
The startled monk fired out a few more palms, but what was strange was that as soon as the golden palm prints touched the mysterious black shadow, it was like a mud cow entering the sea.
"This is...a bug???" It was only at this moment that the great monk realized that the black shadow flying out of the coffin in front of him was a large, dense black beetle.
Seeing this, the great monk's face began to become serious.
The golden palm shadow he just used was a yellow-level high-grade martial skill called "Buddha's Hand Seal".
But this martial art has no effect on the beetle in front of me?
Not only that, the great monk also discovered something that made his hair stand on end.
"It...they are swallowing the aura in the "Buddha's Hand Seal"?"
This discovery scared the great monk crazy!!!
A warrior's Gang Qi is formed by condensing internal energy through countless tempers, and is the most powerful attack method for a warrior in the Divine Gang Realm.
But these beetles in front of us were not only able to restrain the great monk's martial arts, but also swallowed up his aura?
"Master Liaofan, don't panic, let me try it!" Mo Xuanyu said, an emerald green writing brush appeared in his hand, which was a top-quality magic weapon.
Among those present, he and the great monk had the highest cultivation levels, one was in the middle stage of Shen Gang and the other was in the late stage of Shen Gang.
Sure enough, as Mo Xuanyu took out the best magic weapon in his hand, the speed of the mysterious beetles that rushed towards him finally slowed down.
"Although it is very difficult, the magic weapon is indeed effective against these insects!"
Seeing that Mo Xuanyu's method was effective, the monk and Miss Rong took out their personal magic weapons.
Unfortunately, although the magic weapons in their hands had some effect on the strange beetles in mid-air, the effect was very limited. As they watched, with the combined efforts of the three of them, the beetles were still pressing closer.
Mo Xuanyu finally couldn't help but look at Ye Chen with fear in his eyes.
"Brother Chen, although we met by chance, the current situation, if you don't take action, we may all die in this ruined temple."
They had all witnessed the scene of those mysterious beetles devouring martial arts energy just now. If these beetles were allowed to get close, they knew what would happen without even thinking about it.
Even the great monk who had a quarrel with Ye Chen before could not help but look at Ye Chen pleadingly at this moment.
"Well, that makes sense. In that case, I will help you all!" As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen suddenly punched out, and the small mountain-like shadow kept flickering.
"The true meaning of martial arts???" Although Mo Xuanyu had already guessed that Ye Chen was not simple, the strength Ye Chen showed still surprised him.
Not only was I surprised, but I was even more surprised!
Having a Shengang realm warrior who has understood the true meaning of martial arts to help them will undoubtedly greatly increase their chances of surviving in the hands of these beetles.
But just when Mo Xuanyu was secretly happy, something unexpected happened to him.
"Boom!!!" Ye Chen's phantom flickered and his punch did not hit the beetle in the air, but knocked Miss Rong away from the crowd.
"Chen Ye, what are you doing!!!" The scene in front of them stunned Mo Xuanyu and the great monk.
"Open your eyes and see clearly!" Faced with the vigilant gazes of the two men, Ye Chen pointed to the opposite side with an indifferent expression.
It was only at this time that Mo Xuanyu and the great monk were surprised to find that the beetles that had been attacking them miraculously stopped.
They were floating aimlessly in mid-air one by one, as if they were puppets that had lost control.
"This...what exactly is going on?"
Before the two of them could react again, Miss Rong, who was originally knocked away by Ye Chen's punch, had already gotten up from the ground.
At this moment, blood was continuously flowing out from the corner of her mouth, and her eyes looking at Ye Chen were extremely cold: "When did you see the flaw?"
Looking at Miss Rong, who exuded a cold aura and was both familiar and unfamiliar, Mo Xuanyu and the monk stared at the boss, speechless for a long time.
"Are there any flaws? There are too many! There are dry weeds all around the stone platform of the statue, but there is only a little dust on the surface of the coffin!
What does this mean? It means that the coffin was put into the temple not long ago!
Just putting some dust on it won't hide it."
"Just because of this...you doubt me?" Miss Rong, whose eyes were cold, obviously didn't believe it.
"Of course it's not just that, there's also your reaction when you first entered the ruined temple and saw that coffin!"
"Reaction? Is there anything wrong with a little girl feeling fear when she sees a coffin in a ruined temple?" Miss Rong asked sharply.
However, Ye Chen just smiled faintly: "Under normal circumstances, a person will instinctively stay away from things that make him afraid! But you are different. You obviously showed fear, but when you walked out after changing your clothes, you didn't feel that way.
A feeling of tension that makes you want to escape quickly.
On the contrary, he was very calm.
You should be able to perform a complete performance at least, but it would be difficult for me not to see flaws in your half-baked acting skills!"
Mo Xuanyu and the great monk took a breath of air after being reminded by Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's observation ability is so strong!!!
He actually noticed even such details?
And the two of them were completely unaware of it.
Even Miss Rong, whose mouth was constantly dripping with blood, gradually fell into deep thought under Ye Chen's words just now.
"Of course, in addition to what I just said, there is another more important reason!" As soon as Ye Chen said this, everyone's eyes focused on him again.
"I see you are unhappy and want to punch you, it's that simple!"
puff……
Ye Chen's punch just now caused Miss Rong to suffer severe internal injuries.
So Ye Chen's words at this moment were undoubtedly a critical blow to Miss Rong's soul.
She couldn't help but feel the urge to vomit blood.
"Just because of this...you hit me???" Miss Rong became angrier as she thought about it. It would be fine if Ye Chen ruined a good game in the middle.
The reason for the destruction is so weird!!!
It makes people so angry that they can't help but want to rush up and squash him...
"You bastard, I will never let you go easily today." As he watched, the "sluggish" beetle in mid-air charged towards everyone again under the urging of Miss Rong.
Both Mo Xuanyu and the great monk's expressions changed.
Only Ye Chen stood there, looking at the other party with an indifferent expression: "Okay, it's time to end this farce!"
